New Chapters in your Book of Life .. are you frightened .

Perhaps a small poem to give you hope

Life can be scary, daunting and petrifying with it's twists and turns,

Often leaving us filled with a mass of concerns, 

One being should I stay with the known,

with the seeds already sewn.

Should I get out of the dread and the fear 

or look to live a life filled with cheer.

I have looked out the door and seen the cheer,

and the road ahead looks clear!

But I don't know this feeling!

it's foreign to me, 

maybe I need time,

maybe I have more steps to climb, 

before I am able to share the cheer,

or do I just need to be brave and change a gear! 

I was brave today, I took that step,

I felt I could breathe, 

I almost felt free!

a foreign feeling to me!

Maybe tomorrow I could take a second step.

A month later . . . 

I've have ventured out that door numerous times, 

with the sky so clear and the wind so fresh,

and everyone is still so filled with cheer!

I have laughed, I have smiled, 

I have shared the cheer,

Someone even said, 'Hello,  and how are you today my Dear?'

Still foreign to me but

I'm welcoming this new door filled with cheer.

There was a time my life was dark?

and I never thought it would change from that!

but I was brave, I took that step

and a few years on I have never looked back.
